Why Should I Hire FL Patel law’s Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys to Perform My Trademark Clearance Search?
If you haven’t confirmed that your trademark is available for registration, then you’re exposing yourself to potential liability and other problems if someone believes that you’re infringing on their own trademark rights.
Even if your desired mark looks like it’s available, you might still face resistance or refusal down the line if it otherwise conflicts with the USPTO’s standards. Having a local Florida attorney perform a comprehensive Trademark Clearance Search for your name or design can head off many of these issues.
Can I Do This Myself?
Performing your own Trademark Clearance Search for your chosen name or design is a little bit like representing yourself in Criminal Court — you technically can, but it’s highly advised that you seek out the help of a professional instead. Your Florida business’s brand is worth it. FL Patel Law’s Tampa Bay Trademark Attorneys will not only perform your Trademark Clearance Search and leave no proverbial stone unturned — we’ll meet with you and provide you with all the knowledge and strategies that you need to have the best chance of success with your Trademark and protecting your brand.
Common Issues Discovered During Trademark Clearance Searches
-
- Merely Descriptive Marks — A Trademark that does nothing but describe the product or service that it’s connected to will be rejected by the USPTO.
- Weak Marks — A Trademark needs to be reasonably unique if it’s going to survive the application process.
- Generic Marks — The USPTO also won’t allow Trademarks for general terms, words, or phrases.
- Likelihood of Confusion — While the existence of a similar Trademark won’t always invalidate your own, many proposed Trademarks are rejected because they are too similar to a Trademark in a similar category.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a law firm?
Unlike many businesses and websites selling legal services, FL Patel Law PLLC is a bona fide law firm. This means that you’ll have a lawyer with actual legal expertise supporting you during your federal trademark registration — you won’t have to settle for anything less like you would with other non-attorney trademark registration services.
Will I work with an attorney?
Yes — from start to finish, our lawyers will support you every step of the way. We make ourselves available to our clients whenever possible so that you can benefit from our knowledge and experience. Our attorneys have successfully registered many trademarks for businesses across multiple industries — check them out on our trademark page here.
How does the federal trademark registration process work?
The trademark process, at both the state and federal levels, is more complicated than most people realize. Many of our clients want some insight into that process, which is why we have an article explaining it for you here.
How do you offer such affordable prices? What’s the catch?
The catch is that there are too many law firms — and non-attorney businesses offering trademark registration services, for that matter — that nickel and dime their clients every chance they get. Flat-fee services allow us to offer affordable prices that our competitors are either unable or just unwilling, to match.
How long will it take for me to receive my federal trademark?
Both state and federal trademarks typically take about nine months to register. Thousands of applications are processed every day, however, and your specific timeline may vary based on the workloads faced by state and federal agencies.
